2025 Kevin Minor Memorial Scholarship
Description
KEVIN MINOR LEGACY SCHOLARSHIP
The Kevin Minor Legacy Scholarship was created in honor of Kevin Minor, a dedicated husband, ultimate girl dad, and tennis parent. Kevin and his wife raised three elite student athletes who played NCAA Division I tennis and knew all too well the sacrifices that came with it and so easing the financial burden for other families is something that he would love. Kevin believed that it is part of his community's responsibility to bless others as he and his family have been blessed. This scholarship will go towards supporting the training and travel for a female, USTA/Midwest Section junior tennis player under the age of 14 and their family.

Founded in 1992 as the charitable arm of the USTA/Midwest Section, the USTA/Midwest Tennis & Education Foundation (formerly Midwest Youth Tennis & Education Foundation) has been supporting communities, programs and individuals to provide greater educational opportunities for youth. The Foundation places emphasis on programs and activities that provide youth with a positive, fun and disciplined environment to learn the game of tennis - and create alternatives to negative recreation. It also assists young players who have demonstrated talent, and are in need of financial support to compete at higher levels.
We make a difference by providing tennis opportunities to diverse youth from many cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We also award scholarships and grants, in doing so, USTA/MTEF enhances individuals’ personal growth, brings tennis to children who might never otherwise experience it. We enhance communities within the USTA/Midwest Section, and promote the sport of tennis as an enjoyable, lifetime sport that contributes to good health.
